She Should Know
(2/2) Mental Health and the Work of Healing with Sh. Mikaeel Smith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Aalimah Sarah Ahmed sits down with her husband, Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith, for a candid conversation on the evolving landscape of Muslim mental health. They reflect on his recent work in counseling and therapy, his ongoing writing and research, and the unique challenges Muslims face when seeking healing in a space that often separates the psychological from the spiritual. Together, they explore what it means to approach therapy with faith intact, how Islamic scholarship can inform ethical and effective care, and why our communities must move beyond coping toward true healing of the Muslim soul.
